“…As seen in Figure S2(a–f), the R p values of the pure epoxy resin coating, ZnO, CN, ZCN1, ZCN2, and ZCN3 coatings are 1780.4, 2197.6, 2989.9, 6282.4, 7592.9, and 5023.9 Ω · cm 2 , respectively, which presenting the same pattern as the impedance plots. The R p value of the ZCN2 coating is 2.3 times that of the pure epoxy resin coating, showing that the addition of ZCN2 heterojunction material makes the electrons generated by the oxidation reaction of the iron matrix flow between the coatings with the greatest resistance, which reduces the corrosion rate of the iron matrix significantly …”
